Dog Walking Saxon

“I last minute needed a dog walker during my sit due to work obligations, and Quinn responded incredibly fast and came through right away. She relieved so much stress for me and was such a huge help. I’m so grateful, and she was absolutely incredible with Marshall too!”

“Su Thiri was amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure our anxious dog was at ease and comfortable. Will most definitely book again in the future!”

“Faith walked my dog for a week when I was busy with work and she was great. She’s one of those people who dogs just love. She was always on time and went the extra mile to make sure the water bowl was full before leaving. 10/10 would recommend.”

About: Hello, I have always been an animal lover since visiting my Grandma's farm as a kid. My first job for that I held for 4 years in High School was at a Vet hospital, where I fed, cleaned, walked, cared for and groomed the boarding dogs and cats. As an adult, I have loved animal watching/walking for friends and family. As a volunteer, I fed and cleaned the farm animals at a non-profit ranch for autistic children. I work full time in the medical field and enjoy being active so I am excited to get outside for walks and visit your pets on my days off. I am no able to own pets where I live, so I would love to be able to care for yours. Thank You, Megan I am available multiple days a week to walk and drop-in care for pets. My work schedule changes each week but I am able to scheduled services a week in advance. I would care for a pet at a client's home. I do not have a yard but would be happy to travel to the pet's home to socialize and make sure that they are feeling safe and comfortable.

“Esmerilda is an absolutely fantastic person and cares immensely for our dog. She has been our weekly dog walker for a little over 6 months--Our dog is a rescue and was quite difficult in the beginning, but Esmerilda has done a lot to help train and rehabilitate her. She also has done house sitting for us. I'd definitely recommend her to anyone who needs help with their dogs.”

About: I’ve always loved animals of all kinds. Insects, reptiles, rats, especially cats and dogs. I’ve also volunteered at the ASPCA for a year! I have experience with almost all animals, and I’d love to help take care of yours! I take care of two pets of my own, but currently don’t have a stable job. My days are open! Might as well do what I love and get payed for it. XD I have a calm smaller dog, and a cat who LOVES dogs (she’s strange I know). I live right next to a huge park and walking trail.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 12! I am comfortable walking all types of dogs, playing, boarding, and making them happy :) I work 3 days a week, the other 4 days I use for marathon training, working on supply chain projects, meal prepping, being active, and traveling around California when able. On my four days off, I can dedicate time to walks and other forms of pet care. I am a very active person and can take your dog on extra long walks. My apartment is pet friendly and could be a good place for your furry friend to hang out!

About: I have taken care of about 100 individual dogs staying overnight at my home. Their age ranges from 4 months to 16 years. Their weight ranges from 10 to 130 lbs. I make every walk a meditation for me and the dog(s). I work on multiple part-time jobs from home with a flexible schedule throughout the week. I walk dogs four times per day if the weather allows. I fulfill dogs’ needs for physical and mental exercise by walking. I have a fenced yard for potty breaks. I have two kids to keep your pets accompanied. I have the knowledge for pet caring given my extensive experience.

About: I’ve taken care of cats, dogs, some reptiles, and the occasional horse for over 15 years. I’m observant and will readily communicate any concerns regarding pets’ health and/or behavior. I’ve been to get even shy pets engaged and even “chatting” with me :) I’m an instructor and graduate student at UC Davis. I work part-time and prefer to work with animals as a side gig :) I have pretty open availability, outside of the afternoons that I am teaching. While I do not offer boarding due to my own cats’ needs, I am happy to come to your home and carefully follow entry instructions. I am active and love walks and playtime with your pets, and love to give cuddles and pets as well.

About: We are excellent dog, cat, bird, poultry, reptile, and fish caretakers as we have raised most of these, and a few years ago, we had a thriving Rover business taking care of folks' animal babies. We can take care of medications if your pet needs: We have administered medicine to most of the animals on our list, including oral medication for a rooster and injections for a snake. We have had some experience in training our current dog as a service animal. While we have not had the chance to care for farm animals on our own, we love them and have had experience being around them (horses, sheep, goats, cows, pigs, alpaca). Animals, plants, gardens, farms, and home-care are all in our wheelhouse and are the foundations to our lives. If you are looking to have your fur baby stay with us, we have a large home with a fenced backyard. Our German Shepherd loves to play with other dogs, and we take him and our guests to local dog parks or fenced fields to play ball and or frisbee. We take care of our guests exactly how we want our pup to be taken care of! I work part time remotely and part time I will need to be in the field. What that means is a lot of the time, I will be in the home, hanging with your furry, feathered, or scaly baby, working on my laptop. During the times I need to work outside of the home, my 19 year old daughter (who has been doing Rover with me since she was 11) will give the best care in my place. I have a thriving Airbnb business in my home for over a decade, so I have a ton of experience and mindset on home-care: I treat other folks' pets and homes as well as I treat my own. I make it point to keep my clients connected via photos and updates. If I am providing boarding in my home, our 4 year old German Shepherd will love to play with your pup. If I am providing sitting in your home, then my pup will stay home unless requested for a playmate in your home.

About: I am a 4th year animal science major who Grew up on a farm taking care of all animals from cattle and horses to dogs and cats! I’ve also worked at a vet clinic for 4 years. I am currently working at the uc Davis equestrian center and a student at uc Davis! I have a very flexible work schedule and can work around classes. I am willing and available to go to clients houses to play with, walk, take outside, and stay overt with your furry family members. I’m willing to provide almost any service including meds, walks, special feedings etc…

About: Hi, I’m Savannah! As a lifelong animal lover and proud Irish Setter owner, I know that high-energy pups need more than just a quick turn around the block. With over 3 years of pet sitting experience, I bring plenty of enthusiasm, reliability, and love to every single visit. I’m a fast walker, so if your dog loves a brisk pace to burn off energy, they’ll get a great workout with me! If they prefer extra playtime or just hanging out and getting belly rubs, I'm all about making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. What you can expect from every visit: Full-Care Routine: Fresh water refills after every walk, feeding on your schedule, and taking care of any extra pet chores while I’m there. Fun & Play: Dedicated play time and total attention tailored to your dog's personality. Pupdates: Punctual progress reports and adorable, high-quality photos so you can see exactly how much fun your pet is having! Whether your dog needs a fast-paced walk or a cozy check-in with lots of affection, I’ll treat them like family. I can’t wait to meet your furry best friend! I’m available any day of the week at any time! Communication with clients is a big thing for me so if that ever changes you will know! In-Home Care & Playtime Instant Warm-Up & Attention: Start each visit with enthusiasm, giving the dog immediate affection, belly rubs, and positive energy to build comfort and excitement. Targeted Energy Burn: Use interactive toys (like fetch or tug) and active play sessions to drain extra energy before settling them down, keeping them mentally and physically stimulated. Basic Needs & Chores: Always double-check water bowls for fresh refills (especially after active play), handle scheduled feedings, and take care of any quick pet-related tidy-ups before leaving. On Walks Tailored Pace: Maintain a brisk, fast walk to maximize physical exertion for energetic dogs, while adjusting to sniff breaks so they get necessary mental enrichment. Constant Engagement: Keep eyes on the dog at all times, talking to them, keeping them moving, and managing leash safety around distractions. Post-Walk Wind Down: Bring them back inside, offer fresh water, towel off paws if needed, and let them cool off in a safe, comfortable spot. Client Communication Photo Updates: Snap clear, adorable pictures during play or mid-walk to send with your visit report. Detailed Notes: Leave a quick summary letting the owner know how much energy was burned, how much water/food was taken, and any fun moments from the visit.

“Hannah is easy to communicate, punctual, and friendly. My dog enjoyed the walk with her!”

About: I’m a pet sitter who specializes in dogs, cats, and reptiles (I have a crested gecko myself), but am open to any pets. I’ve taken care of cats and dogs of varying sizes and ages, and, through my consistency and responsibility, am trusted by a large number of clients to take care of their pets. I have experience with larger dogs, animals with special needs, and feeding medication. I love building genuine connections to the animals that I care for, and I prioritize open communication and the safety of your pets above all. I’m a recent graduate taking time off, so I have an open schedule to take care of your pets. I have a car and can reliably travel to your house. My top priority is ensuring your pets are safe and maintaining the trust of my clients. When in my clients home, I treat it with respect and ensure that your pets have a safe and fun time while you are away! I always like to send lots of updates and pictures of your pets.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life and I have genuine love for animals. I must admit I have a favorite though, Great Danes have my heart. I promise your pets will be in gentle and capable hands. I am currently at home for the summer after finishing my freshman year at University. I wanted a flexible way to earn money and keep busy with furry friends. I am often in charge of caring for my family and friends’ animals, feeding, walking, and playing are all part of my daily routine. I look forward to extending my experience into caring for your beloved animals.

About: I'm a very responsible and fun loving dog mom to my own senior Maltese. Other owners say bringing their dogs to stay with me is like going to Club Med. Looking to spend quality time with my senior dog and other babies as much as I am able to. I would care for your dogs as much as I care for my own. I have a fenced yard and parks in the area. This is a very dog friendly community. Regular potty breaks and walks are the norm for my house.

About: My name is Destiny and I grew up caring for large and small dogs and cats. I have hands-on experience raising puppies and kittens from birth through adulthood. As an adult, I continue to care for both cats and dogs, including adopted shelter cats and my own Labrador Retriever and Standard Poodle. Both of my dogs are neutered, gentle and affectionate. My Standard Poodle loves to run and play and can be wonderfully bouncy, but he's also surprisingly nurturing and likes to make sure everyone is okay. My Labrador is basically Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh—a lovely potato who is particularly drawn to wee, scrappy dogs. I actively study canine behavior and learning. I train and participate in dog sports including obedience, scent work/nose work, agility, Barn Hunt and NASDA. I'm comfortable observing canine body language, following established training and management routines, providing enrichment, and adapting my approach to the individual dog. Most importantly, I genuinely enjoy getting to know animals as individuals. I don't expect every dog or cat to immediately love me, and I don't force interaction. I believe comprehensive care starts with paying attention to what makes an animal feel safe, comfortable and understood. I work from home with a flexible schedule and control over my own hours, which gives me plenty of time to incorporate walks, play, enrichment, meals, potty breaks and companionship throughout the day. Our household is unusually quiet and relaxed. There are no children in the home, and my neighborhood is a peaceful residential area that's well suited to walks and downtime. Pets staying with me have opportunities for activity and engagement, but also plenty of time and space to settle, nap and simply relax. Because I'm home much of the day, pet care fits naturally into my routine rather than having to be squeezed in around a long commute or rigid work schedule. I believe pet care starts with understanding the *individual* animal. I take time to learn each pet's normal routine, temperament, preferences, training cues, feeding needs and anything that may make them uncomfortable or stressed. My approach is calm, patient and attentive. I don't force interactions, and I pay close attention to body language and changes in behavior. I follow owners' established routines and management instructions carefully because consistency can make being away from home much easier for a pet. My home is clean, quiet, child-free and low-stress, in a peaceful residential neighborhood. I want visiting pets to have a comfortable place where they can play and engage when they want to, but can also settle and rest without constant activity, noise or disruption. When caring for pets in their own homes, I bring the same approach: respect the animal's familiar environment, follow the household's routines carefully, communicate reliably with the owner, and leave things exactly as I found them.
